What is the cost of breast reduction?
Mine was covered by my mothers health insurance. I had the operation in Delta, BC Canada by a woman named Dr. Sproule. The pain was horrible at first but I was back to myself in about 2 weeks. Once you get past the first 2-3 days it's OK. I basically went to my family doctor, got a referral, saw Dr. Sproule, and that was that. I lied and sais I had major back pain, turns out a couple months before the surgery I started to actually have back pain. I was 17 at the time and am now 25. It was the best thing I have ever done. And besides the medium scarring they look fantastic. I was a DDD and now I'm a small D Cup due to being slightly overweight (145 lbs). Right after the surgery I was a C and they didn't move. It was like having implants. They were perfect. I didn't have feeling in the nipples for the first 6 months but it's all back to normal. I was told that I can also breast feed. There have been alot of advances to the operation since and now I think the procedure has minimal scarring and would be much less invasive. I also read somewhere to operation is about $5,500.

What can i do to stop my breast from growing?

How can you make your breast stop sagging?
With pregnancies and age breasts begin to sag. The only sure way to raise your breasts is plastic surgery. But, you can make some improvement by:
- Exercises -- Push-ups, and chest flys build pectoral muscles. As pecs get larger they push the breasts up and out making them appear higher. (Chest flys are where you lie on your back, holding a dumbbell in each hand extend your arms straight out above you. Lower them out to your sides, like wings, then return them to above you.)
- Losing weight -- If your breasts are heavy, extra weight can make them sag. Losing weight can make them smaller and higher.
- Drinking lots of water -- Dry skin looses it's elasticity. Water can increase its strength and elasticity. Drink at least two quarts of water a day.
How long after a breast reduction can you work out?

Does being a vegetarian reduce your breast size?
Beef is known to be rich in zinc, especially its shank and chuck parts, and zinc has long been held to be an important nutrient for growing children and lack of zinc as a possible cause of lack of growth in children. Hence the idea that eating beef may aid a girl's breast growth. However, there are many food sources of zinc other than beef, and anyway increased consumption of zinc has not been shown to assist any form of growth except in cases where a child was suffering from a zinc deficiency.

How much weight can you lose from a breast reduction?
Probably. Breasts are mostly fat tissue, and having excess body fat can affect breast size.
if you REALLY want to lose them (and i don't see a good reason why to unless you have back problems) then just do pushups and when you grow up some more bench, so you just get regular pectorials and not just breasts. sharper image, i believe, even sells a separate exercise machine named "the love handler" which gets rid of love handles, or breasts. good luck with that!

What kind of exercises can reduce the size of breasts?
Here are suggestions from WikiAnswers community members:
- Normal push ups help to get rid of "man boobs"
- Try taking dunb bells and laying down and putting them back behind your head and then pulling them up. If you're doing it right you can feel it in your chest.
- Doing push-ups is the way to. You can feel it in your chest area.
- "Man Boobs" are mostly fat so dieting is the best way to get rid of them. However, push ups and other chest exercises are also helpful. Sometimes man breasts are a result of previous drug (specifically heroin) and alcohol use. It's always a good idea to ask your primary health care provider.
- Definitely push-ups: push up from the table.

Excercise like you normally would. Even if you target a specific place, it will not help. Might as well work a place with little fat, such as the shoulders, to add muscle which will burrn fat.
How long does it take dissolvable stitches to dissolve after breast reduction surgery?
Dissolvable stitches usually start to degenerate a week after your operation and then continue to do so. Once you are allowed to bathe then soaking them in a bath will speed up the process BUT remember they are there to stop the wound reopening and getting infections. If they haven't disappeared after 4 weeks visit your doctor to see if he will remove them.
